A Professional Athlete’s Transition Out of Sport: The Challenges and Opportunities that Pertain to Entering into a New Career

Creator:: Bishop, Sierra A.
Abstract:: Each year, whether it be under voluntary or unvoluntary circumstances, countless professional athletes retire from their sport. Even by the average retirement age of 30, many are still underprepared to face the challenges that accompany the transition. Along with the changes in schedule, identity, and social group, numerous professional athletes...

A Comparative Analysis of Rodent Species Shows Oxidative Stress Resilience and HSP70 Expression Levels Correlate with Species Longevity

Creator:: Sarker, Minhazur R.
Abstract:: Researchers of healthy aging have determined trends between a species’ body mass and its maximal life span (MLSP). Actual MLSPs are then compared to predicted MLSPs and reported as a longevity quotient (LQ). Long-lived mammals, such as humans and naked mole rats (NMR), have LQs ranging from 5.0 to 10.0,...

Heart Disease Knowledge, Awareness, and Perceived Risk in Oregon State University Students

Creator:: Hirsch, Lindsay N.
Abstract:: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S. but is often thought of as a man’s disease. Women with CVD, however, suffer poorer health outcomes due to previous education of stereotypically “male” signs and symptoms of heart attacks, despite the fact...

Associations Between Parenting Practices and Decision-Making Competence inEmerging Adults: A Prospective Study

Creator:: Michaels, Linsie
Abstract:: Developmental research has suggested that parenting practices may impact the development of risk behaviors later in life. However, little evidence exists regarding how parenting may impact actual decision processes that precede poor choices. This study examined how parenting practices in early childhood influence the development of decision-making competence (DMC), a...

Hypothalamic Leptin Gene Therapy Does Not Prevent Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss in Rats

Creator:: Jackson, Melanie A.
Abstract:: Post-menopausal women are at an increased risk for osteoporosis due to increased bone resorption associated with estrogen deficiency. Subcutaneous administration of leptin, a hormone produced primarily by adipocytes, attenuates bone loss in the ovariectomized (ovx) rat, an animal model for post-menopausal bone loss. Leptin has both direct peripheral and indirect...

Lanthanum Sulfide Thin Film Deposition via Chemical Nanocluster Deposition

Creator:: Coussens, Nathaniel J.
Abstract:: Lanthanum sulfide film was deposited on silicon dioxide substrate by pumping aqueous LaCl3∙7H2O and Na2S∙9H2O solutions into a T-mixer. After mixing, residence time was manipulated to adjust lanthanum sulfide deposition rate. Lanthanum sulfide films were created on silicon dioxide substrate at room temperature, 60 °C, and at 100 °C. Lanthanum...

Using TEM to Evaluate the Importance of the Microbiome and Virome Between Fire Corals and Scleractinian Corals

Creator:: Duke, William C.
Abstract:: As important ecological cornerstones, coral reefs face threats from a myriad of sources, such as global climate change, and importantly, disease, the latter often as a result of microbial pathogens. An understudied group of major corals, fire corals, and their even less understood microbiome present an opportunity to learn more...

The Sustainability of Community Microgrids: Case Studies of Beaverton and Portland, Oregon

Creator:: Butler, Lily
Abstract:: This thesis is one part of a study to compare and contrast 10 different proposals and finished projects for microgrids, and the associated community perceptions and response. It has been posited that microgrids have the potential to improve the resiliency and reliability of the electricity grid. In recent years, there...

The Dental Fluoridation Potential of Drinking Water

Creator:: Renyer, Karissa N.
Abstract:: Water fluoridation is considered one of the top ten greatest health achievements of the twentieth century due to its effectiveness in reducing the prevalence of dental caries. However, despite extensive research on the subject, there is little information currently available about how the constituents of drinking water affect the uptake...

The Influence of Gas Extraction on Bubble Dynamics

Creator:: Juarez, Corey D.
Abstract:: A new thermal management method for hotspots on microprocessors is under development that employs confined pool boiling with vapor extraction at pre-determined nucleation sites. Extraction is accomplished by locating a vacuum chamber constructed out of a glass tube and a hydrophobic membrane directly above a nucleation site. In order to...
